Baron Davis Has Been Waived

Quite truthfully, I'm tired of speculating on free agents and possible additions. I'm very much looking forward to having a complete Knicks team to analyze and write about, but news is news, and this bears regurgitating. From Ken Berger:

Teams under the salary cap (the Knicks are not one of them) can now bid on Davis. However, given the fact that he has a back injury, and has had health/conditioning/motivation problems in the past, teams may stay away from him. If he clears waivers and isn't picked up by any team, he becomes a free agent and the Knicks will be able to bid on his services. Mr. Alan Hahn reports that there is mutual interest.
Davis would be a pretty exciting player for the Knicks to have. Though he may be injured, he'd be worthwhile keeping around for when he is healthy. I don't think he'd act up on a team with Amar'e, Carmelo and Tyson Chandler, and he would fill an immediate need for a point guard and extra scoring. He's a talented passer and very good in the pick-and-roll too.
